An amendment was also included in the resolution calling for air defense systems to be provided to Ukraine.

PACE became the first international organization to recognize russia as a terrorist state.

Before the PACE vote, President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke via video link, urging support for the resolution.

On Thursday, the head of the country spoke at the PACE session via video link and emphasized that the PACE could become the first international organization to recognize russia as a terrorist state.

"russia only wants to speak the language of terror. And this is a fact. This fact must be recognized at all levels. Politically, legally and on the battlefield in Ukraine, and by supporting our defense capabilities.

I thank you for the fact that PACE can become the first international organization that defines russia as a terrorist state," Zelensky said.

Also, the President of Ukraine noted that there can be no diplomacy with russia today.
